Riverboat Fantasy (Wilcox)
Sittin’ on a Riverboat having a party me and my Cajun queen
She’s turning 21 on the Mississippi River, headin’ down to New Orleans
The year is 1894, oh come on baby and Love me some more
Her dark eyes shine a gambler’s delight, she shakes her pretty head and says
Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy, watchin’ the sun go down
A Rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
Look at that wheel go around
Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses that’s the life for me
I’m sailing away from my heartache on a Riverboat Fantasy
Can’t think, can’t drink anymore whiskey, I could have drunk a river dry
Mmmm this ole boat just sittin’ in the midnight, catchin’ that gleem in her eyes
Showers of rain came pourin’ down the skies full of stars
Like a French lace gown
Shimmer, glimmer, I think I’m gonna fall, catch me moma that’s all
Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy, watchin’ the sun go down
A Rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
Look at that wheel go around
Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses that’s the life for me
I’m sailing away from my heartache on a Riverboat Fantasy
Delta sun came down like a hammer, Oh it gave me the lowdown blues
I’ve gotta cottin gin just a weavin’ and a spin
To shake the dust from my shoes
I made me a honey, to buy me a honey, to tickle me under my skin
When mornin’ comes I’m gonna ride into town
And worry about the shape I’m in
Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy, watchin’ the sun go down
A Rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
Look at that wheel go around
Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses that’s the life for me
I’m sailing away from my heartache on a Riverboat Fantasy
